Founder's Police

The Founder's Police (or Columbia Police or Columbia Soldiers) essentially serve the function of a City Watch on the floating city. They come armed with a variety of weapons from the Machine Gun, Pistol, Shotgun, and Sniper Rifle. They can also wander into battle with melee weapons and charge at the player.

They're generally considered the weakest enemies in the game, and their only strength comes in their sheer numbers. They will often attack in large groups from multiple angles, and since Columbia has such wide, open spaces, keeping track of where they're all coming from is quite difficult.

To get rid of groups of Founder's Police easily, use the Devil's Kiss Vigor. This will throw a large fireball towards a group, incinerating many of them extremely quickly. You can even upgrade this vigor further to enhance its strength and form mini-clusters that also explode.

If you are close range and resort to melee attacks it is best to have burning halo or electric touch to help stun or heavily damage the Founder's Police. Since often run up to Booker another helpful strategy is to place a vigor trap, which can take out a substancial number of enemies.

At certain times there are turrets or mosquitos which you can possess. This is helpful as the automated allies hurt foes as well as distract them allowing you to take kill off the founder police easily.

The Founder's Police are the soliders of Columbia and they serve as a sort of "Constant", if you will. All Vigors in the game will have their normal effect in both duration time and damage when used upon these foes. (See the Enemies page for more information.)
